Christmas Decor

Well, my tree is up and decorated. My house is fully decorated in every room and the outside is decorated. My house is all decked out for Christmas.

Believe it or not, I have all my presents wrapped and under the tree. Well, the ones that will fit. I only have 3 more people to buy for and I'm finished and can breeze thru December with no worries.

I hope everyone had a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!!

Here is a picture of my Christmas Tree.

Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

As you know, the new Harry Potter movie came out last Friday. I had to wait and see it because it's a family tradition that we go see the new movie on Thanksgiving when my sister is here. So, I had to wait; hoping I wouldn't hear or see anything about the new movie and the plot line.

We went to see the movie last night. I think I was too anxious to see it that it kind of let me down; at first.

More towards the end of the movie is where I really started getting into it. It was a very good movie and I would definately recommend you seeing it.

I won't go into any specific details about the movie so that I don't spoil it for anyone else. I will say that I hope the original cast makes it thru the last 3 movies. They are growing up too fast!!!

East Ridge Christmas Parade

Tonight was the ER Christmas Parade. I had taken my car down to Blockbusters so that we would have a guaranted place to sit. It started at 6:30, so around 6:00 we walked down to the car. We got all settled and the Parade was starting.

At every beginning of the Parade, the policemen come thru on their motorcycles. There were policemen from almost every city. City of Red Bank, ER and then the City of Chattanooga. They were right in front of us and then they stopped at the intersection; all of a sudden, the fire truck came speeding by and I thought, "why are they speeding when the policemen are stopped?". After looking to see what was going on, one of the policemen had fallen off his motorcycle and was laying on the ground, NOT moving!!!

Someone was walking down the road asking if anyone had any aspirin; so it was apparent, he had a heart attack. They started doing CPR and the ambulance finally came. After about 15 mins of doing CPR, we found out that he had a mild heart attack and they finally got him breathing.

What a way to start a Christmas Parade. I'm thankful that he is okay as far as I know. I hope all goes well for him and will be thinking of him and his family this holiday season.

Start Fit Evaluation

Tonight was my Evaluation for the Start Fit program I did for my work. I lost 5 lbs. and lost 2 inches each from my chest, waist and hips.

I was happy!!!!!!

Almost Thanksgiving

Well, it's almost Thanksgiving and I started getting all my Christmas decorations down. I know, it's not quite Thanksgiving yet; but I wanted to see everything I had and if I needed more? You can never have to much Christmas decorations.

Anyway, I can't wait until Thanksgiving because then that next week; we are going to decorate for Christmas.

Thanksgiving doesn't have a lot to decorate about. I mean, I know you could; but I don't have any Thanksgiving Decorations. Maybe next year.....

NO MORE SQUATS!!!!

As you all know, I've been in my work's Corporate Fit Start for the past 7 weeks now (yea, 1 more week to go!). About 2 weeks ago, our trainer had us doing about 20 squats. I didn't think they were anything as I was doing them; however, the next day I could barely walk. Well, I swore then I'd NEVER do squats again.

Welllllll.....Tuesday, our trainer asked us if we wanted to do squats? I was like, "yea, we haven't done them in a while". (thinking they would be fine).

He sat down 3 dumbells, a 35 lb, 30 lb and a 25 lb. We had to do 6 squats with the 35, 8 with the 30 and then 10 with the 25. TWICE!!!!!!!! That equals 48 SQUATS!!!!

I thought I was dying while I was doing my last set of 10; however, I came home from work early today because my legs hurt so much that it's making me sick and wore out.

Next time, my answer will be "No!".

Exercising Finally Paid OFF

I've been exercising atleast 2 nights a week for the past 5 weeks; in that time I've managed to gain weight. Everyone keeps saying it's muscle that I'm gaining and that in time I'll start loosing weight.

Well, the TIME HAS COME!!!!

I went to Weight Watchers Tuesday night and lost 6.5 lbs!!!!!!

YEA!!! I was so excited. That was just what I needed to get motivated again and start loosing more.

I still have 3 weeks on my FitSmart program, but I'm hoping I'll do great next week also.

Thanks to everyone that has supported me and cheered me to keep going!!!
